Hi

Anyone have experience / knowledge of replacing a 180 tyre with a 190 - its for a MH900e that gets riden fairly fast on the road, but is never really thrashed.

Thanks
Dave

Why the hell would you want do that, they come out OEM with a 170, are you wanting size to compensate for sometime small??

I suggest not doing it. It will make your turn-in much slower and IMO hurt handling. The MH already handles very well

ciao dave -

don't do it ... stay with the stock size tires for best handling out of your mh900e.

ciao,

Agreed with all the comments above - looks aren't everything
